  School as a community -...

  In search of leadership in Waldorf schools.
  Leadership in Waldorf schools has a specific history. Whereas 40 years ago it was hardly allowed to formally exist because it represented power and hierarchy, now it is commonplace to have a headmaster, rector or director. In this book, Hans Passenier examines the development of leadership and organisation in Waldorf schools. He starts at the origins and finds principles that can help develop school organisations and their leadership in the future. In four parts, he unfolds the foundations, the tools to develop leadership and organisations and finally describes exercises to support that development as a school community.
  His thesis is that education is about children being diverse, having different abilities. Also that the educator should not be a carpenter, but a gardener. The image of the school as an organism is guiding, in which the school community is a place for the inner development of each individual in that school community.
  The horizontal and vertical dimensions guide the view of both leadership and organisational design.

From the war in Ukraine and rising tensions in the Taiwan Strait, to proxy battles in the Middle East and the militarization of the Arctic, global flashpoints are multiplying. Technology, cyberattacks, nuclear weapons, and fragile alliances create a dangerous mix where one mistake could ignite World War 3.

  You will discover: 
   
  The regions most likely to spark escalation — Ukraine, Taiwan, the Middle East, and beyond.How cyber warfare, AI, and hypersonic missiles are changing the rules of conflict.Why nuclear deterrence, once a safeguard, may now be the greatest risk of all.How alliances like NATO can both protect and endanger global stability.The psychology of leaders under pressure, and why miscalculation could be catastrophic. 
  Neutral, clear, and unsettling, World War 3: How Close Are We Really? is not about panic — it’s about awareness. It shows the fragile silence holding our world together, and reminds us that the future is not written. 
  The storm hasn’t started yet. But the silence is breaking.

  Kilwa Sultanate - The Swahili...

  Nestled along the shores of the Indian Ocean, Kilwa emerged as a vibrant cultural and trading hub whose origins can be traced back to the mingling of diverse peoples and traditions. Long before it became known as a dominant maritime power, the region was home to indigenous communities that thrived on the rich resources of the East African coast. The arrival of Arab and Persian traders introduced new goods, ideas, and cultural practices, setting in motion a transformation that would lay the groundwork for Kilwa’s future prominence. 
  The early formation of Kilwa was not the result of a single event but rather a gradual process influenced by its strategic geographic location. Its natural harbor provided an ideal meeting point for merchants navigating the vast Indian Ocean, linking the interior of Africa with the markets of Arabia, India, and even China. This advantageous position allowed Kilwa to evolve from a modest trading outpost into a bustling urban center, where economic opportunities attracted people from far and wide. 
  As the trade networks expanded, so did the cultural exchange. The integration of Islamic traditions played a significant role in shaping the identity of the nascent city-state. Early Muslim traders and scholars brought with them not only the teachings of Islam but also innovative approaches to governance, education, and law. This infusion of new perspectives blended with existing local customs, creating a unique cultural synthesis that became characteristic of the Swahili coast. Over time, the fusion of indigenous and foreign elements fostered a distinct identity, one that celebrated both its African roots and the influences of distant lands.

  How Mexican and Latinx hackers apply concepts from coding to their lived experiences 
   
   
   
  In Code Work, Héctor Beltrán examines Mexican and Latinx coders' personal strategies of self-making as they navigate a transnational economy of tech work. Beltrán shows how these hackers apply concepts from the code worlds to their lived experiences, deploying batches, loose coupling, iterative processing (looping), hacking, prototyping, and full-stack development in their daily social interactions—at home, in the workplace, on the dating scene, and in their understanding of the economy, culture, and geopolitics. Merging ethnographic analysis with systems thinking, he draws on his eight years of research in México and the United States—during which he participated in and observed hackathons, hacker schools, and tech entrepreneurship conferences—to unpack the conundrums faced by workers in a tech economy that stretches from villages in rural México to Silicon Valley. 
   
   
   
  Beltrán's highly original, wide-ranging analysis uniquely connects technology studies, the anthropology of capitalism, and Latinx and Latin American studies.
